Not all survivors were abused in religious institutions and, in fact, I think it's likely that some of the survivors in defunct institutions will actually be in non-religious institutions. That's why I want to pursue this a bit further, to find out for those beyond non-religious institutions. I tried to ask this last night: are those survivors that were in defunct institutions, where the government doesn't have responsibility, not going to have access to redress?
